One of the best red wines I have ever had at any price. At under $20 an extraordinary bargain. 2014 vintage in 2020. Aged perfectly and very smooth. Luscious berry. Pleasant nose. Could drink this daily. Similar reactions from a number of experienced wine drinkers who were pleasantly surprised.

Delightfully funky in that distinctly Portuguese way. Perfectly balanced and about as “interesting” as you can get for $13 without using the word euphemistically. The label recommends pork or chicken. Honey glazed tofu worked for us, but stewed oxtail did not.
